There was a time when I hit my financial rock bottom. I needed a significant amount of money in a very short period of time to pay the bills, yet I had no idea where the money would come from. I felt desperate and hopeless. Have you ever felt that way before? If you have, you know how bad it sucks (for lack of a better word!).
I kept getting this message from within about asking a family member to borrow some money. And I kept ignoring it. I was embarrassed and didn’t want to impose. Yet, it kept popping into my mind over and over again. Finally, one day I asked myself why was I really so resistant to asking to borrow some money? Then it hit me…
Deep down inside I didn’t want to ask for the money because I didn’t expect I would be able to pay it back. In fact, as I dug deeper, I didn’t really expect that our financial situation would ever really turn around!
WOW! It was this invisible barrier that I hadn’t seen until that point. I didn’t really believe things were going to change.
In that moment I made a decision that radically changed everything!
I pushed aside my ego, swallowed my pride, and called up the family member and asked for the money with the expectation that I would be able to pay them back because our financial situation was going to significantly change!
And guess what???? It was in that bold decision and my new expectation that everything shifted, starting the very next week and I have never looked back!
So think about a goal you have been going after that you are struggling to reach, and be really honest with yourself…Do you really expect that it will happen?
Now that you are clear, ask yourself what decisions and actions would you now take if you expected it to happen? What would you do differently?
Then take massive action with the NEW expectation!
